Once the season starts for me, there isn't a change in my focus, just a change in my tactics and strategies.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Every season is a new challenge to me, and I always set out to improve in terms of games, goals, assists.
When you get moved around, it can be jarring, but it helps to fine-tune your focus in the middle of the season, when other guys are getting a little lackadaisical.
When it's deep into the season and you're not playing well, it's frustrating. This is when it's time to revisit some basics.
I just feel that after the season that we have to sit down - as well as myself, everybody - and try and look at what gives us the best opportunity to move going forward.
For me, I've learned that the best thing is to focus on the team you play for and yourself and what you need to do.
You play a certain way for so long, and change is good. So I look forward to change, and I look forward to playing with the proper talent that we were able to put together.
I'm doing whatever I have to do to help my team win. So, instead of being focused on anything from the outside, I'm focused on winning and that next game.
Once you know what to expect, it gets easier and easier. And now I know what I have to do to prepare for each season and what to expect through each season.
I think more and more that I get to challenge myself and kind of raise the standard for myself every season. Even the term 'fashion' is about change. It's about newness. And what that newness means is different every 10 years, every five years.
Through the years I've been getting better and better and better, and it's what you learn though the seasons.
